"Intending to be a classic blues recording, The Blues Album checks a number of boxes that qualify it to be one of the top albums of 2021. Not only is it another exquisite Bonamassa & Smith production, but the album also showcases clean guitar tones, pianos, and horns performed by aces like themselves along with Reese Wynans (keyboards), Greg Morrow (drums), Steve Mackey (bass), Steve Patrick (trumpet), Mark Douthit (sax), Barry Green (trombone). For all this, there's no doubt that Joanne picked not only the right time to do this album but all these incredible songs as well".

"For many a musician at their career mid-point, a blues covers album is a creative shrug of the shoulders. Shaw's feels different, firstly because she gives less weight to the sacred cows, and mostly picks the cultsters you can kick around without the purists pissing blood ... As a back-to-basics statement, this album is hard to beat".
